Reference is the product-concept dictionary for Nimi. Each page is a
field listing, table, or enumeration sourced from .nimi/spec/**. None
of these pages narrate — for narrative, see the domain sections
(Platform / Runtime / SDK / Desktop / Realm / Avatar /
Nimi Coding).
| Page | Use when you need to know... |
|---|---|
| Glossary | What a cross-domain term means in one place |
| World Fields | What a World looks like at the field level |
| Character and LocalAgent Fields | How Realm-owned Character identity relates to Runtime-owned LocalAgent materialization |
| Six Primitives | The cross-world contract surfaces in tabular form |
| State Machines | Every named state machine and its canonical states |
| Authority Domains | Which domain owns which kind of truth |
| Error Ownership | Which layer owns which error contract |
| Compatibility Posture | The platform-wide compatibility envelope and forbidden compatibility shapes |
| Forbidden Claims | Public docs forbidden claim list with detection patterns |
If you need a single term defined, start at the Glossary. If you need the canonical fields of a World or a Character/LocalAgent boundary, the World Fields and Agent Fields pages are the field-level sources.
For named state machines, State Machines is the consolidated table. For ownership of any kind of truth or error, Authority Domains and Error Ownership say which domain answers.
